President William Ruto has warned hospitals against exploiting poor patients, saying government funds are meant to serve the vulnerable, not enrich business owners.

Speaking on Tuesday during a meeting with grassroots women leaders from Siaya, Homa Bay, Migori, and Kisumu counties at Homa Bay State Lodge, Ruto cautioned that any hospital found to be taking money from poor patients would face his intervention.
